Consensus suggests that you should not evaluate a teams performance before 10 games have been played, well we are just about there with Cup games included.
Firstly, I will say that due to a number of factors I have only been able to take in a couple of games so I will restrict my comments to the general rather than the specific.
A lack of production from the players whose main task it is to score goals has clearly been a subject of real concern to date. As I have said before, this was predictable and should, in my opinion, have been addressed either by making different personnel decisions in the summer or certainly before the window closed. It is still possible to change things through the loan system but clearly PT does not fancy this route.
Secondly, although it is clearly connected with the first point, is our home form. It is extremely difficult to be competitive or more worryingly stay away from the bottom two, without a reasonable home record. At some stage of the season we are likely to go through a scrappy period in our away performances and if we are still not firing on all cylinders at home then the pressure will mount.
At the moment we sit in mid table which is ok. However, should the clubs with points deductions continue to perform then things could begin to get a bit twitchy.
